"Wing Curtain" by Japanese photographer Kazuhei Kimura. Kimura is a photographer who has quietly explored the relationship between seeing and memory, starting from personal memories and bodily sensations, and has continuously developed the interests that are also seen in his later works such as "Atarashii Mado" (A New Window). This book is structured around his childhood experience of peeking from the wings of his sister's ballet recital, and captures the figures of girls attending ballet class while standing in the liminal space between the stage and the audience. The tension and excitement that linger in the brief time just before the performance begins, and the presence of the light filtering in, rise up as images with soft tones and a slight blur, appearing more like fragments of memory than the event itself. This collection of works quietly questions the moments when past sensations overlap with the present, and the distance of seeing, through the setting of the stage.
